Cater Care

Our Catering team in the Eastern Region is seeking skilled Chefs to become part of our newly established Full-Time Relief Pool Team. 

This position will involve providing coverage for staff leave across various locations, as well as engaging in a range of additional responsibilities, including mobilisations, shutdowns and importantly, mentoring newcomers to the industry. This is why we are in search of a unique type of Chef. Working as a Chef in the FIFO/BIBO/DIDO sector differs significantly from traditional hospitality roles, making it an excellent opportunity for those seeking a new beginning.

Entering this industry offers the chance to enhance skills in menu management, large-scale food production, and more.
